As I said earlier, what America is doing here has nothing to do with Syria, or chemical weapons. It's merely political posturing. If you step out of line, we will fuck you and we don't give a shit what the UN or anyone has to say. This is the clear message America is sending to the world post GFC.

They're clearly trying to set a precedent. America feels they simply can't allow or turn a blind eye to the use of chemical weapons during wartime (their use having been declared a warcrime) and must intervene in order to restore less effective killing methods. If you ignore chemical weapons usage during wartime then what's next? It's a very dangerous game of one up that can only end in mass extinction.

Thank fuck I live in Australia. Imagine having a shitty roll of the dice and Bam! You're a woman born in the depths of hell (also known as the middle east)

The US funds 22% of the UN's annual budget (2013). Everyone has a conflict of interest, it's just another massive fustercluck.

Until the US shows some proof on the world stage I'm skeptical. A false flag attack to bring the US into the war that the rebels are currently losing is just as likely as Assad gassing his own people. The US is eager to get involved because they know if they don't act soon the rebels are going to be slowly cut down by attrition and low morale.

So the US has enough to wipe out the entire world (billions) but the US and Russian stockpile combined only have enough to kill millions? Either someone failed math or they're grossly exaggerating, my guess is the latter.
